Some days I feel like I am running from one end of the house to the other. Picking up and putting away toys. The same ones I just did not even an hour ago. Folding mounds of laundry. Which never get put away. Attempting to stay on top of the cleaning. Cleaning? Honestly? Patting the baby’s back and putting her back to sleep. Sigh. Breaking up a sibling squabble. More like an all out brawl. Sushing the girls’ screaming so {Read More}
My girls and I are getting crafty with our ABC’s during our tot school each morning. Each week we focus on a different letter of the alphabet, going over letter identification, sounds, and of course lots of crafts to go along! This week we are learning about the letter G, so we made some goggles to go on a “G” scavenger hunt! Here’s what you will need to make your own googly-eyed goggles… permanent marker, scissors, pipe cleaners, and an {Read More}

With the cold and flu season right around the corner, many parents may be wondering what to {Read More}
This past week in Sunday School we were talking about our children being involved in extra-curricular activities. How do you decide what they will be involved in. We all agreed that it is to be a choice that is made together. That the child should want to do the said activity, such as ballet, or football, or piano lessons, but where is the line drawn. How many activities are too many, what if they don’t want to do any at {Read More}
Respect, it is more than just an old song by The Temptations, it is truly something we should teach our children. In today’s society, so many people lack respect, respect for authority, respect for our elders, respect for each other, and therefore, as a result of this lack of respect among adults, our daughters too have a lack of respect. It is our responsibility to teach them the respect that they should have, for themselves, for us and for others {Read More}
One of our biggest challenges are picky eaters. It seems that a picky eater will not like any type of food you place in front of them. They may complain that they don’t like the food or that it feels funny in their mouths. We as parents then try to disguise the food to make them eat it; or drown the food in ketchup or cheese sauce. There are easier ways to entice your children to eat more foods and {Read More}
There is no denying that there is a link between soft-drink consumption and weight gain adolescents. According to researchers, soft-drink consumption has increased by 300% in the past 20 years! And it has increased 85% in school children who drink at least one soda every day.

Sugar sweetened beverages increase blood glucose {Read More}
